Bit of a sandbag route at points, a few really tough moves that felt totally out of the grade. I strained a bicep tendon doing the mantel move onto the ledge on the last pitch which hurt like hell and I could barely move my arm. Dropped my belay device as I was about to abseil down the nearby gully and Oli had to scramble all the way back up and rescue me in the dark. Not a fun end to the day!jsmcfarland - AltLd O/S - 14/Apr/14 with Oli Hawk

Ended up doing a mix of The Cracks and Lorraine. Bradley led pitch 1 and 2 of the cracks as one. I led crack pitch of Lorraine and last pitch.

Set off to climb the Cracks but after climbing the first two pitches in one and following my nose it then transpired that we had climbe dLorraine. A good route, guidebook said a 5c move, guessing that's a miss print. Lovely climb and a bit more physical than my other climb of the CC weekend.puppythedog - AltLd O/S - 27/Jul/13 with Alvin CC

Very good climb with plenty of option to place kit, unlike the idiot who chose not to place any kit= 2 broken legs!scott mayled - AltLd O/S - 22/Jul/13 with A student

Climbed with Dick Curtis in June 1968. Dick lost the way and ended up on the Direct variation which was excellent climbing but not much gear! Repeated in July 2013 with Ellie 45 years after my previous ascent!
Top pitch now graded 5a because of the polish!Sean Kelly - AltLd - 14/Jul/13 with Ellie Woods

cool route, nice to be back on welsh rockBennykr - Lead O/S - 26/Sep/11 with Dome Boi

MK ran P1&2 together, and decided not to put any protection in. I chose to follow up P2 of The Cracks, because I didn't fancy a big swing across the slab if I came off. I did P3; MK p4; me P5.smolders - AltLd O/S - 25/Sep/11 with Marianne K

Led P1 and P2 as one as I went slightly off-route on P2 and needless to say, couldn't find any gear. Virtually soloed it until I reached the short chimney. Martin had to climb part of The Cracks to avoid taking a swing that would have made him land on the other side of the nose. Led P4, with gear this time. Martin led P3 and P5.mariannekhoo - AltLd O/S - 25/Sep/11 with Martin Oldham

Slightly wet and windy made this more sketchyNoodles - AltLd - 14/Sep/11 with Sam Thame

Led P4 (after Graeme ran pitches 1-3 together).
Some nice, varied climbing, but the crux is definitely the 5a move in common with The Cracks. Nasty.victim of mathematics - AltLd O/S - 30/May/09 with Graeme

Started climbing at 8 in the evening, it was dusky then, after the first pitch it was pitch black - head torch climbing up wet rock and greasy rock lolsonnenstern - AltLd O/S - 03/Apr/08 with Kieran King, Mike Goldthorpe
